Power settings and Wifi Connection
When I close the lid on my x220, the wifi automatically shuts off. If I try to resume wifi, it takes a few minutes to connect. This is really annoying and just began happening after an update I think. where do you find the settings to keep wifi always on?

Re: Power settings and Wifi Connection
Hi, I have no experience with your Thinkpad model, but I would try installing the Power manager as well as the Battery Maximiser and run it. Maybe it will let you change some power management settings affecting your WiFi connection.
Re: Power settings and Wifi Connection
Thinkpad power manager has a feature called Instant Resume that keeps your WiFi on even if you enter Standby.
Open Power Manager, switch to Basic mode > click on 'change what closing the lid does and enable Instant Resume to stay online"
I find it weird that this feature is easier to find in basic mode but hard to access if you're in advanced mode.
